Preacher says May 21st is “Judgment Day”

 
A California preacher's beliefs are getting some nationwide attention these days, even here at home with a billboard and radio ads. He believes the end of the world is near. 
You may have seen the billboard that reads "Judgment Day" is Saturday, May 21, 2011. Or, you've may have heard a radio ad while driving around town. "The time is May 21^st. May 21. May 21^st, 2011," the ad says. 
That's according to preacher Harold Camping. He's running the radio spot in Reno, to remind people of his belief; Christ's second coming is this weekend. 
Camping runs an independent Christian ministry called "Family Radio Worldwide" out of Oakland, California. He believes The Bible is a calendar of prophecies that can be calculated, all his interpretations of course. 
Father Norman King with Immaculate Conception Church says not to worry, "for anyone to speculate a particular date, I think that is totally hokum."
If Camping is basing his prediction on recent catastrophic events like, Mississippi river flooding in the south, major quakes like we've seen in Japan, wars in the Middle East, or invading insects. Father King says it's all happened throughout history, but no apocalypse. "It could happen today.  It could be at six o'clock tonight. It could be anytime," Father King says. 
And even if the messages are aimed at the masses, people we talked with say they're not buying it. "I think it's a guy who's trying to make a lot of money by broadcasting it on his radio and having people subscribe and give him some money," Gavin Jarcia of South Lake Tahoe, California says. 
"The end of the world is not May 21^st, so don't make plans. I would suggest you have a BBQ on May 22^nd," Sandy Masters of Reno says.
Many people say Camping's prediction is false since his last "Judgment Day" prediction didn't come true in 1994.
